They are very knowledgeable, experienced in this field, but what really intrigued me that they are passionate about what they do. On day one they assessed my level on all modules based on my plans on taking the test, they created a roadmap. We discussed it together and that sounded a plan. We worked based on that, there were times I'll get slow due to my full time job and distractions in life but they got me back on track. Definitely that's not possible without the extra efforts from them. There were days I got off days from work and they encourage me to visit the institute and they will arrange for 1 -1 class to keep on track. Who does that? People with passion! They were super nice, I was comfortable working them , I would approach them with my work anytime and get feedback. I scored more than what I was expecting. The are THE best!!!! Good luck :)

I am extremely pleased by my children's progress in speaking and recognizing Chinese characters. I tried teaching Mandarin to my kids with the many resources available (YouTube, Books, etc), but it was difficult. I didn't know what I was doing, but at Happy Panda, the teachers are all very skilled. They knew what they were doing to teach my kids in a fun and engaging manner. In class, the teachers teach the kids how to read simple Chinese books. I'm sure the kids are just memorizing, but by doing the reading/repeating with a physical book, it seems to me that they are learning how to pronounce and recognize the words correctly. They sometimes do Chinese calligraphy, crafts (related to Chinese), and games to make learning Chinese fun. They also use white boards to write Chinese characters to practice writing. So far, my kids are excited to go to class everyday. They're eager to tell me what they can say in mandarin after class. I also love that I get to reinforce/review what was taught in class at home because of the resources Ms. Lin provides to the parent.

She works with experienced teachers to design a comprehensive curriculum. Most of other after school programs I've checked out tend to assign repetitive lessons (my son lost interests very quickly on anything repetitive and he resisted going). At Pinnacle Learning, the curriculum grows with the students, while the focus is learning while having fun. The teachers are highly educated and bilingual proficient with many years of experience in teaching Mandarin. When my son was attending a different bilingual school last year, I often caught the Mandarin teachers speaking English to my son because he was American-born. This is not the case at Pinnacle Learning. The teachers believe in full immersion, teaching only in Mandarin, and the results are amazing. Some of the students went from not knowing any Chinese to conversational and even able to perform a show on stage Completely in Chinese. The key is that the children enjoy learning Mandarin and have a strong desire to continue. I highly recommend Pinnacle Learning.

There are activities and themes each month to keep the learning fun and interactive. We are really looking forward to the summer school classes!
